Paroisse Saint-Barnabé Adventure Holidays

Excellent hotel with lockable bike storage pods. Superb staff and discount on local restaurants.

We stayed at the Hyperion at short notice when our return flight from Basel to the UK was cancelled at short notice. The room was quite small but clean and well-equipped and with a good view to the east. The front desk staff were very helpful with replenishing supplies for the coffee machine in the room and dealing very quickly with a fault on the room safe. We had to leave the hotel at 4:30 am to catch the replacement flight so appreciated the 24 hour front desk service.

Wonderful stay, exceptional hotel.

Room was clean and good size. It was very easy to take the tram into town from the hotel which is good because this area is a bit of a food desert. Staff were very friendly.

Very close to the metro that was very convenient for traveling all over Basel

We booked the "Romantic Suite" through Expedia, only to discover that the room was completely windowless. Although the listing described it as being below ground level, it did not disclose that there were no windows whatsoever. In fact, the description mentioned "blackout drapes", which rather suggests that windows exist! What makes this particularly disappointing is that Expedia's listings in other countries apparently disclosed that the room was windowless, whereas the UK listing did not. Despite raising this issue, the UK listing still hasn't been corrected as of November 2026, meaning future guests could book without knowing what they're getting. I would strongly advise anyone considering this suite to be aware that it has absolutely no windows. This is a significant detail that should be made clear before booking, especially for a room marketed as a romantic suite.
